Wow. Hmmmm.

amazing!! 550$ is a very good price for that kind of hardware

MisterRogers, I'm interested in a bare PCB :-)

Where do I sign up?

Glad to hear that sort of response!

We should have everything firmed up by end of the month at the latest. The DAC will probably be on sale at both JLSounds & JoeAudiophile. Lucidita - bare boards will be available to interested pirates probably one time only. The plan is to sell it built, but JL has agreed to allow just PCB for me/friends.

Hey Gang. I've attached the flyer that AKM will be making available at CES this week.

One small price change; seems the board house upped their cost for building the boards. The margins were so tight that the price had to be adjusted up to $600. Minor (IMO), and still one hell of a deal.

Looks great! At that price I'd be tempted to avoid messing with the surface mounts myself!

Same here.

wow Mister Rodgers! I'd love to hear this little gem, and may jump on purchase!

to be clear: would buyers of the prebuilt at $600 still need to add their own case/transformer or ?

MisterRogers · « **Reply #88 on:** January 06, 2015, 05:41:14 PM »

Yes - this price includes the built board, USB board & LCD / Controller. The buyer/builder adds transformers and a case.

I've ordered a couple of transformers from SumR built for the needs of this board. They came to $88 per transformer. If we end up with a bunch that want to order we can run a small group buy for these; probably get the price down quite a bit. I've used SumR's transformers for quite a few years - top of the line build, and purpose built.

What's the spec on them trafos? Something bonkers?

I am actually thinking of getting C-cores for this build.
